    4.2 Boat Cleaning Cleaning boats and boat equipment is important for aesthetics and longevity.Some of the soaps and solvents commonly used in cleaning boats can be toxic to marine life. Consequently,it is important to educate boaters about environmentally–sound cleaning products and practices. Set an example for your boating guests by selling and using “green” products while providing boat cleaning services by the marina. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS The following laws apply to boat cleaning activities. If you perform boat cleaning ser- vices at your facility, please read the summary of these regulatory programs in Chapter 6. • Massachusetts Air Quality Regulations • Massachusetts Clean Waters Act • Massachusetts Hazardous Waste Regulations Best Management Practices Consider employing the following BMPs for environmentally-protective boat clean- ing methods. > Designated Maintenance Areas: Cleaning should be restricted to designated maintenance areas. See section 4.1 for more information. > Natural Cleaners: Promote the use of natural cleaners at your marina. The most natural cleaner you can use is water. Scrubbing a dirty section of your boat with a rag soaked with water can be as effective as any cleaning agent if you apply more Consider This “elbow grease.”Other natural cleaners that can be very effective include lime juice, borax, and baking soda. Because even natural cleaners can have a negative effect on Try cleaning with water and some extra “elbow grease” before relying the environment, use them in moderation. on cleaning products.

  • Metallic Fibre Reinforcement of Plastics and the Effect
    1 METALLIC FIBRE REINFORCEMENT OF PLASTICS AND THE EFFECT OF COLD WORKING By Ekrem Pakdemirli, B.S., M.S. in Mdch.Eng. Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London May 1967 2 ABSTRACT In Part La general survey of the theories for the evaluation of the physical constants of composites is given. A theory to predict the moduli of metal fibre/plastic systems is developed for an arbitrary distribution of fibres, which takes into account the micro and macro strain differences of two media. Unidirectional and cross reinforcement as well as randomly distributed types of reinforcement are considered. The theory is also applied to helically wound thin-walled cylinders to optimise the orienta- tion of the fibres. In Part II.a the effect of cold working on the mechanical properties of plastics and composites is described. Detailed experimental techniques employed during this investigation are given. In Part II.b the experimental results obtained from tensile tests, plane strain compression tests, impact and creep tests for various combinations of polythene, propOthene, aluminium, copper, bronze and steel systems are presented. 3 Acknowledgement The author wishes to thank Professor Hugh Ford, F.R.S. and Dr. J.G. Williams for their supervision during the course of study. He would also like to thank Professor Emeritus W.G. Bickley for his helpful discussions on the mathematical side of this work. Last but not least he thanks his wife whose patience and understanding have done so much in helping him to complete this work. 11. CONTENTS page General introduction 6 PART I.

Nebraska Cooperative Extension NF94-139 Preservation of Metal Items Shirley Niemeyer, Extension Specialist, Home Environment The age of metal may in part be indicated by the patina — the result of oxidation or interaction with air or its environment which causes the surface of metal to deteriorate slightly. To preserve the value of metal items as heirlooms and keepsakes, careful cleaning, storage and display are necessary to preserve the patina and the original finish and characteristics of the metal. Always test cleaning and care procedures first before use on valued items. Follow safety precautions in using solvents and other chemicals. If in doubt, consult a conservator who specializes in metals. When using commercial cleaners, read and follow the label directions and test first. Hardware stores and lumberyards, grocery stores, and specialty shops and department stores may carry metal cleaners.

  • The Organ Case WILLIAM DRAKE
    Case study on the restoration of the 1735 Richard Bridge Organ at Christ Church Spitalfields The Organ Case Copyright 2016 WILLIAM DRAKE Ltd Organ Builder Chapel Street, Buckfastleigh, Devon TQ11 0AB 1 The Organ Case General The organ case seems to have been made as large and imposing as possible, in width actually causing the plaster cornices of the entablatures having to be sculpted away to allow its installation in 1735. There is only just enough room to get the front pipes of the side towers in and out for the voicing process. The lower section is taller than the usual. The front is made in solid mahogany though some veneer is used in the cornices and the serpentine mouldings at the top of the impost. The sides of the case are made in pine, painted to look like mahogany. There is no building frame in the front section of the organ. The soundboard supports are dovetailed into large hanging brackets nailed and glued to the inside at impost level at the front and the back. The reinstalled Great soundboards (note the dove tail brackets that are nailed onto the back rail of the impost) The tower front pipe toe-boards are resting on the ends of three cantilevers running along the outside and in between the soundboards which are dovetailed into brackets fixed to the back rail of the impost. The weight of the front pipes is thereby not bearing down on the ornamental mouldings and carvings below. The cantilevers were found in a very much weakened state. They had been severely structurally compromised to fit large pedal pipes in the Great case.
